# Rate Limits

To keep the API fast and fair for everyone, requests are rate limited per API key. If you exceed the limit, you will receive a **429 Too Many Requests** response. Currently you can only send 15 requests per minute through an API key.

## Limits

Specific limits depend on your plan. Contact us or check your dashboard for your current quota. In general, we recommend:

- Batching or caching where possible
- Using reasonable polling intervals (e.g. not more than once per minute for the same resource)
- Implementing exponential backoff on 429 responses

## Response headers

When rate limited, responses may include headers such as `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining`, and `Retry-After` to help you throttle and retry.
